- Is the Mark of the Beast Actually Voluntary?
Is there a difference between the "Mark of the Beast"
, and the "Seal of the Servants"
? If so, what is the difference - how can people know which they have, (or getting)?
- Could someone inadvertently get "the Mark of the Beast", thinking it was the "Seal of the Servants"?
Note: I have also heard the "Seal of the Servants" called the "Mark of the Lamb". - Or, Could someone mistakenly avoid the "Seal of the Servants", thinking it was the Mark of the Beast"?
Issue: What is to say that the two "marks" are actually the same thing - but that the Book of Revelation might just be disinformation, (from a Jewish point of view).
Or, is this a non-issue: Is the Mark of the Beast Actually Voluntary?
The Seal of the Servants:
NKJV, Ezekiel 9:4 - and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
NKJV, Ezekiel 9:6 - Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
NKJV, Revelation 7:3 - saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
The Mark of the Beast:
NKJV, Revelation 13:17 - and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Note: There is a number of the name, a name, and a mark. The "mark" appears different than "the name" or "number".
It strikes me kind of odd that there is so much analysis on the "Mark of the Beast"
, when it seems that the "Mark of the Lamb" might be much, much, more important.
